You basically prove my point. If the cowardice is so prevalent and overpowering that people are not compelled to force of arms to defend their rights---then all this talk about a fully-armed nation is so much posturing garbage. No teeth. No guts.

We are not at that point yet...but we are getting close. No, there is no excuse. What prevented conservative parents from dominating the school parents' presence in our society? Were their family woes so huge and unique? No, they just decided to let it be someone else's concern. I saw the same thing in my union experience at my employer. It was no surprise that the union was run by activists who were dominantly left-liberal-socialist in their views. Nearly every other engineer was conservative and would complain about this. I would ask, "Well, then, why don't you run for Council Representative? We need people to fill vacancies." And the answer was, "Nah, I don't have the time to be interested in that." At which point I would burn their ass with a scolding for just being a carper who didn't want to do anything to solve the problem. They didn't like that. But this is the way that self-righteous conservatives turn themselves into cultural and political zeroes.

Thins are not as bad as Nazi Germany, so that is no excuse for anyone chickening out and keeping his head down. The people who went along with the "mandatory" vax were functional idiots who couldn't tell the difference between life and death. Now, they get death. Just look at the statistics. I've read that over 90% of the current Covid fatalities come from the vaxxed. That's too bad, but it just underscores the fact that we are the authors of our own destruction, if we simply go along and comply.
